It's hard for us to say today This is the trace of later people Let's take this as a conclusion. This is what the Ming History says He said too Fu Shizhen's father was Zhu Shizhen History of Zhongli in Haozhou To the place of Zhongli in Fengyang today Raw four children Gave birth to four children Taizu Qiji Mother Chen You see, he explained his family background very clearly. This is from the Ming History. It is clearly stated in the Chronicles of Taizu Texts written into official history All of them are carefully considered In fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang was born What's the name? What will Yuanzhang do? Zi Guorui doesn't have these Just a nickname Zhu Chongba Just such a name When Zhu Yuanzhang himself described his ancestors He also said so He said that his original name was Zhu We said our surname is Zhu From Jurong, Jinling Ming Zhuxia in Tongde Township Since listing Fuqin Agriculture First, the military took the minister's family Sizhou People Changzhong Sigong Shengxu Yuci Chongliugong Chongqigong gave birth to Wuhemao Qi Ji also gave birth to Qian Zhongli Later Wu aging This passage should be translated into our vernacular today How to explain it? He is saying That's what I mean. From our old Our home It's the old Zhu family My ancestors were from Jurong, Nanjing. My hometown is in Zhujiaxiang, Tongde Township. Our ancestors made a living by farming. All are farmers My father Married mother What about the mother? He is from Sizhou and his surname is Chen In Xuyi She gave birth to my eldest brother Zhu Chongsi I gave birth to my second brother and Zhu Chongliu in Wuhe and his third brother Zhu Chongqi I am the youngest in this family. Born in our family After moving to Zhongli Dongxiang That's it. Just write about my own family. It is very clearly written But everyone listened Let's all listen Maybe I don't understand What's going on? What big brother Since the eldest brother, he has been called Zhu Chongsi, right? Second brother, third brother What is Zhu Chongliu? Zhu Chongqi and then he was called Zhu Chongba You know, in those old days, This ranking He is a big ranking It's not like today when we say close friends are exclusive no He is the eldest son of the eldest uncle in the family. The second uncle is the second oldest When it comes to my third child in the row Just like this So maybe you are the eldest son of this family. But in this big ranking You are not the boss anymore. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's family was like this His uncle already has a child. That's Zhu Chongyi Zhu Chonger Zhu Chongsan When Zhu Yuanzhang's father gave birth to his eldest brother Already ranked fourth Zhu Chongsi Then the uncle gave birth to another Zhu Chongwu, right? When Zhu Yuanzhang's father gave birth to another son Heavy six, heavy seven, heavy eight Oh, it's Zhu Chongba's turn. He is such a ranking So they think it's normal. So he narrated it and said Who gave birth to whom? We are listening today. It's a bit weird So let me explain it to you. When Zhu Yuanzhang was born Their family is miserable. This Zhu Yuanzhang's family In Nanjing, they were called gold diggers. He lived in the late Yuan Dynasty. A very special household registration Everyone understood it as soon as they heard it What is a gold digger? It's gold panning Professional gold panning Hey, everyone asked They live in Nanjing. Does Nanjing produce gold? No gold No gold This gold digger is in trouble. There's no gold to be mined But I am a gold digger. Since you are a gold digger You have to send gold to the court Where does the gold come from? Working by growing your own crops Earn money and buy gold to hand in How long can this last? ah He can't handle this kind of family. As a result, when it came to Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather Can't pass Migration I guess you're not a gold digger Let me hand it in, I can't I'm leaving, I'm hiding, isn't that okay? Ah, this swaying The common people can't stand it. So they moved their family. The relocation did not stop. Where to move to? Moved around Hongze Lake Ah, everyone knows Arrived in Sizhou Farming in the local area Work to earn money to support the family Dealing with it this way Until his grandparents died. After his death, he was buried in Sizhou His tomb Buried all around that time It's just an ordinary grave of an ordinary person. When Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor These are his grandparents. That's incredible. The mausoleum will be renovated here. So at the tomb of his grandparents On the foundation of the tomb Huangling was built This Huangling is called Zuling Zulinxiu is very large It's magnificent, but it didn't last long. By the Qing Dynasty The flood caused the Hongze Lake to become larger This ancestral forest was flooded. It became an underwater tomb. Drowning under water This flood It's been many years. Until the great drought in the 1960s A severe drought The water of Hongze Lake has receded This tomb was leaked. Let's see it leaked Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral tomb has been revealed Protect it The rich aroma of Jiugui Liquor reminds you to continue your childhood Zhu Yuanzhang came from a poor family To make a living Became a cowherd In a group of partners Zhu Yuanzhang becomes the king of children Demonstrated leadership skills from an early age It also helps to recruit capable assistants for future entrepreneurship More exciting after the advertisement Although Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestors were prosperous, But they can't bear the government's exploitation According to the Yuan Dynasty government regulations Each family has a fixed household registration For example, the gold diggers of the Zhu family In addition, there are military households, artisans, medical staff, etc. Household registration is based on the municipal system Regardless of the specific situation Once it is decided Generations cannot be changed This system forced the Zhu family to leave their hometown. Displaced So what kind of environment was Zhu Yuanzhang born in? What was his childhood like? They lived for a while around After grandparents died I can't stay any longer. I can't live anymore After his grandparents died Zhu Yuanzhang's uncle and his father They moved their family From all around It is today's Xuyi Xuyi in northern Jiangsu Moved to Anhui Moved to Fengyang In this area They moved to several places. Everyone saw During the last decades of the Yuan Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang's family moved around everybody knows Why does he move around? Because he doesn't have a fixed living condition. There is no land If you have land, it's your own. So what should I move? I just farm at home. No land of your own No industry of their own To make a living Had to relocate the family To earn a living So Zhu Yuanzhang's family was a very poor family. Wait until they move to This time in Guozhuang Village, Taiping Township The family situation is even worse Zhu Yuanzhang's uncle's home Those sons Just now we talked about Zhu Chongyi Zhu Chonger Zhu Chongsan Zhu Chongwu Almost didn't survive They all died before they reached a very old age. Zhu Yuanzhang's own brothers and sisters Few people in the family can finally stay. Finally, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang and stayed Conquered the world with Zhu Yuanzhang Only one son of his brother Zhu Wenzheng This son is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world Finally become Founding hero They have a large population. Many boys Such a family In the end, there were only one or two people left. It means their family is very, very poor. Zhu Yuanzhang's home They have been honest farmers for generations. A lifetime of farming Finally, at home The field has no ridges No land No house either. There is no land It means renting the land from the landlord to let others farm. Working for the landlord In our words today It's called poor peasant The purest poor peasants Such a family There is no magic Special and superior place Zhu Yuanzhang was born three days ago Got a serious illness The family members looked Not eating or drinking Hopeless This child can't survive. His father thought It's better to die at home I might as well give him to the temple. So I held this child We arrived at the nearest temple in the village. Huangjue Temple So he gave the child to Huangjue Temple. But it's such a coincidence His father rushed to Huangjue Temple holding Zhu Yuanzhang. When I got to the temple, I saw Empty Not a single monk I can't give it even if I want to. What's going on? There is no way I can come back with this child. Look, it's almost there. He was given to the temple when he was only three days old. I didn't give it to you, so I took it back. Wait until you get home to see The yard inside their house There sat a monk It's very strange He came back with the baby. I don't know what to do. At this time the monk spoke So, I want your child to get some help. What does it mean to receive the record? Just take this child Record this Look in the list of monks. Register him. Aren't you going to donate it to the temple? Okay, we approve it. But the child is still in your house. This is really a coincidence What a hassle! Come back Zhu Yuanzhang's illness gradually healed. Then you can eat something. What about this? It just slowly passed. Watching Where is Zhu Yuanzhang? In such a poor home I grow up day by day When my family situation got a little better, Let him go to the village to talk privately Go to a private school to learn something Recognize a word Read a book Soon the family will be in trouble. I dropped out of school. What do you do after dropping out of school? Working for the landlord People herding cattle and sheep Be able to earn a living Zhu Yuanzhang's first identity when he was a child Little Shepherd Boy This was the beginning of his difficult life. Let's herd cattle. Zhu Yuanzhang is very interesting I had a lot of personality when I was a kid. A group of children are herding cattle there. He has the best ideas Children want to play games These cattle-herding kids all get together to play games. What is that called acting? What role? He plays the emperor Then the other cowherds played the role of officials Minister Everyone must meet him and respect him He has liked commanding others since he was a child. Why do those kids listen to him? Why should I let you command me? He has big ideas You have the ability For example, everyone puts cattle there I'm hungry and have no food to eat. Stomach growling Look at the smoke below We should go back together, right? When it comes to eating The more I talk, the hungrier I get. Zhu Yuanzhang said Say you are so stupid Saying that this meat is left uneaten Still talking about this and that He asked where the meat came from. How can poor children eat meat? There's not enough food to eat. He said there were cows there. come Take the knife for chopping wood Kill a calf on the spot Light a fire and roast Everyone ate the beef in no time. This is easy to eat. What to do after eating? The sun is setting It's time to go home This cow is gone. That's not our own cow. The landlord's cow Everyone was at a loss. Yuanzhang said it doesn't matter There is only one ox tail left. Some bones left Bury the bones Cleaned up the scene Take this cow's tail Find a crack in a rock and stuff it in. Put it in and say go back Go back and talk to the landlord. That cow Just leave him alone and he ran away Drilling into the cracks in the rocks Why can't I pull it out? Could that be the case? Landlord, come and see I know these kids are doing bad things. Get a beating He was not allowed to herd cattle and was driven away. But Zhu Yuanzhang was beaten. This job can't be done anymore But his prestige among the children is getting higher and higher These kids all obey him. There are many here For example, Zhou Dexing Like Xu Da Later, they followed him to conquer the world Became a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty Such an interesting group of children The rich aroma of Jiugui Liquor reminds you to continue your excitement Suffering from the hardships of life No place for burial Both parents died Nothing 17-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang Encountered a huge difficulty in life I also realized the warmth of human nature in difficult situations. After the advertisement be right back Although the Zhu family is poor But his parents still tried their best to let Zhu Yuanzhang go to school. Learn the rough spelling of poetry and prose It gave Zhu Yuanzhang a certain cultural foundation This was in his later struggle. Played an important role Zhu's parents hope the next generation can have a better life But I didn't expect Worse days are coming At the end of the Yuan Dynasty This famine The common people Even on those days when we don’t have enough food to eat Can't survive Zhu Yuanzhang's family was also miserable. The worst year for their family It was the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty. This year The locust plague was very severe First, the drought Then there was the locust plague Many people starved to death. Then, the idea came into being Everybody knows After the disaster Careful Epidemics As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang's family was very unfortunate. His father My mother and brother were both in this disaster. Died during the disaster In just half a month The family lost three relatives at once. Zhu Yuanzhang with his brother I don't know what to do. Two children What should I do when something big happens at home? So first thing I have to bury my parents and my dead brother. It's easy to say. Where to bury? There is no land at home. Their family has been doing farm work for so many years. I have been a farmer for so many years. There is really no dragon in the house No one in the sky no way The two brothers went to find the landlord together I've worked for your family for so many years. In the end, no one was left. Give us a piece of land Let's bury our loved ones. This landlord is unkind. Not only not let And he scolded the two brothers and kicked them out. These two brothers come out. Crying Overwhelmed Oh, at this time Neighbors stepped up to help A child who grew up with them. Liu Ying When he saw this situation He ran home and told his parents His father's name is Liu Jizu Said something happened to the Zhu family how how The brothers were at a loss The Liu family is very nice. A look at this situation The old couple came quickly. Meeting Zhu Yuanzhang and his brothers Just tell them what's up Such a big thing happened in your family Go find them Our own people are here You don't find But at least I can find a piece of land at home. Let you bury the old man and brother So they gave them a small piece of land. The hillside was used for them to bury Zhu Yuanzhang's parents. When Zhu Yuanzhang later recalled this period of life He was very impressed That's what he said He said that the revitalization of the cold The living are for food and clothing The suffering dead have no grave No treacherous Liu Jizu showed his benevolence and kindness With one's own fertile soil Tairan Huizhen The funeral of Steller The Emperor's pen is here Still unforgettable He talked about his family affairs Speaking of this land given to them by Liu Jizu To bury his parents Gratitude expressed in words Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang is a man who will never give up. So he was very grateful to Liu Jizu right Never forget the favor Liu Jizu gave him. So he named Liu Jizu the Marquis of Parliament Liu Jizu did such a good deed at that time He didn't think You will get such a reward in the future From then on, the descendants of the Liu family were granted titles of nobility in the Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty Minister Look at what happened in history. Unpredictable No one can know But what he did helped this person Finally got such a good result I think This should be very Things that inspire us I buried my father, mother and brother. What about these two brothers? There is a place for burial. Carrying the coffins of my father and mother I lifted this Liu Jizu gave this land At the foot of the mountain Just lifted it here. Suddenly the weather changed Dark clouds everywhere Then it started to rain heavily Thunderstorm The brothers saw a thunderstorm coming. Can't bury it either. Find a place to take shelter from the rain I ran to a place to take shelter from the rain. Wait until the rain slowly passes. Come out, brothers. Getting ready to bury my parents again At this time, Well, everything has changed. It turned out to be the violent storm just now. This caused a small mudslide on the hillside. The mud and rocks on this mountain are sliding down. So they buried the two coffins that were there. Sky Burial Zhu Yuanzhang's parents were buried There's no need to look for this anymore Place This place is if you go to Fengyang today The imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty that can be seen It is the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang's parents. today We can see a magnificent and luxurious imperial mausoleum But who could have thought He had such a tragic process at the beginning This is how Zhu Yuanzhang's parents were buried The rich aroma of Jiugui Liquor reminds you to continue your excitement My parents and brother died at almost the same time. Let Zhu Yuanzhang's family fall into ruin The so-called family is broken But only four times But you don't know how difficult it is until you experience it Parents died without a burial place Let Zhu Yuanzhang truly experience the despair of life But life must go on The 17-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang who completely lost his support Where to go He still has an unfinished relationship with Buddhism. Please pay attention to the researcher of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Mr. Shang Chuan, President of China Civil Society Tell you about the series Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty Season 2: The Wandering Monk Zhu Yuanzhang's father's home By this time, I have no relatives left. His uncles and their children also died one after another. This branch of Zhu Yuanzhang's mother There are no relatives at this time. Because Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather Have two daughters What about the eldest daughter? Married to a family named Ji The second daughter and the youngest daughter are Zhu Yuanzhang's mother Chen What about marrying the Ji family? They never had any contact. And the family situation is not good. There is no way to go to So after Zhu Yuanzhang's parents died They have nowhere to go Where to go? These two brothers are worried. And turned back to farm for the landlord That's not the solution. My father and mother have been farming all their lives. This is the end Can I still go this way? What else can we do if we don't farm? Hey, where is Zhu Yuanzhang's brother? A little bigger than him. At this time Found a family Being recruited by someone else Become a live-in son-in-law I went to someone's house. My brother can suffer This Zhu Yuanzhang can't do anything. Sixteen or seventeen years old One person says it's big or not Not small Nowhere to go Hey, now he remembered something. What's going on? When he was little Didn't his parents give him away to a monastery? He is registered in that temple. He is the one who is recorded. So Zhu Yuanzhang thought There is no other way to go I might as well go to the temple. So Just appeared Zhu Yuanzhang's second role in his life Little Monk Zhu Yuanzhang went to Huangjue Temple I became a little monk This little monk The lowest level of novice monk What can I do every day? Just cleaning the temple Do chores This is Zhu Yuanzhang's luck It's really bad He arrived at Huangjue Temple Isn't it just to make a living? So as not to starve to death outside But everyone knows at this time Famine at the end of the Yuan Dynasty Plus the war There's nothing in the temple. He had only been in the temple for a few months. The abbot of this temple said Oh, now our small temple There is nothing left to feed everyone. If you have relatives or friends Relatives can seek refuge Go and seek refuge. Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned Does he have relatives or friends to rely on? He needs someone to rely on. He won't become a monk. then what should we do Good to send out Right The wandering monk went outside Holding a monk's rice bowl Dragging a rice bowl Begging for alms everywhere Ask the wandering monk to see where the temple is Live if you can No, just wander around in society. Let others eat Just like begging for food Zhu Yuanzhang had only been a monk in the temple for a few months. The novice monk drags a rice bowl Wearing a ragged He began his wandering life Zhu Yuanzhang I once recalled this period He also once said He said November Dingyou The head monk of the temple gave the heavy stone because the broken debt was not enough Everyone must return to his home Two months of worship He's only two months old Not piloted I don't understand this experiment yet So try hard and be realistic South standing somersault West to Guangxi North to Yingzhou Two years of ups and downs Still in Huangjue Temple He told me to go outside. Wandering in many places North and South Rugged outside After a lot of hardship After two years, I finally returned to Huangjue Temple. He said two years Not two years actually. More than three years. Because Zhu Yuanzhang left Huangjue Temple for at least four years It has been eight years since he returned to Huangjue Temple. I have been wandering outside for nearly four years. Wait for him to come back from wandering At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already in his early 20s. A real young man. This period of begging life It left a deep impression on Zhu Yuanzhang. Until he became emperor He also recalled this period of life Wrote a very good article I'll read it to you. He said that each one was a sacrifice Clouds and water floating I cooperate with Nothing According to personal Looking up at the vast sky Neither can Hiding in Xiangjiang River Exhaling smoke and exhausting The Mutougu Temple has become deserted Looking up at the green reeds on the cliffs, Listen to the monkey cry in the moonlit night The soul is wandering and searching Parents have no From the bottom to the top The West Wind The moth sees the profit and flies away Like a roc chasing the wind My heart is boiling Look how miserable you are. No relatives outside Wandering outside Thinking about not being able to see my parents My heart is surging That's the kind of life A few years Think about it A teenage child I've never been out of the house. Always at home At the parents' side Even if the days are hard This is also how life is suddenly Parents are gone My brother is gone No relatives Wandering outside alone Who has experienced this hardship? Let's look at which emperor in our history I've had such a difficult experience. No We often say today Hardships and difficulties For a young person He is an essential lesson in life. If you can overcome this hardship It becomes a part of your life. Invaluable wealth If you can't overcome this hardship You were defeated by hardship. You are a loser Zhu Yuanzhang accomplished nothing He just took this hard and rough It has become the most precious treasure in my life. Become his first step to success At this time The disaster has passed a little bit. Life is getting a little better Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Huangjue Temple The temple can also accommodate some monks. He resumed his life in the temple. This time This Zhu Yuanzhang is different from before At that time, he didn't know anything. one A young man who grew up slowly in his hometown He had insight at this time. Everybody knows That was the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Different regions are emerging Peasant uprising Like these raging firewood Already spread all over the country And he went to the oil mill to beg for food It happened to be the place where the peasant uprising was most intense. He is in those temples I have received a lot of news in society. I have seen many phenomena like this. All of these made Zhu Yuanzhang more mature More knowledgeable at this time What about the rebels across the country? Already quite This uprising It's already quite intense. And at this time What is the characteristic of this peasant uprising? Believe in a religion Mingjiao Zhu Yuanzhang Becomes a Monk Huangjue Temple has also changed in this generation At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt I will stay in this temple. Can't stay any longer The world is in chaos Zhu Yuanzhang also went out Walked the world I've seen these things too. He often goes in and out of the temple. That is called believing in Maitreya Buddha Maitreya also teaches that he can often see these people. Have you seen people who believe in Maitreya? Influenced by their ideas So Zhu Yuanzhang thought So what should I do? Should I beg too? God, look at what instructions God gives me. 于是他就来到乾岚殿 He made a wish What is this first wish? Say I'm staying I'm still here as a monk. Ask for a money Hey, the money is out. A big chest No, you can't stay. Good to make a new wish I leave I am not in the temple anymore He started shaking the sticks again. Hey, another sign popped up He picked it up and looked Very bad This is bad. It's also cruel to say I want to stay I want to leave too So what should I do? This is Zhu Yuanzhang He made another wish He started shaking the sticks again. What did he wish for this time? What will be the result of Yao's signature this time?
